Federal Premium Ultra Steel Twelve Gauge BB and Number Two Shot One and a Quarter Ounce Twenty Five Rounds

The Federal Premium Ultra Steel line delivers a 12 gauge, 3" 1 1/4 oz. load that waterfowlers trust when birds come in hot, combining a brass-bodied, red-hued shotshell with zinc-plated steel shot and Federal's rear-opening FLITECONTROL FLEX wad to produce exceptionally tight, consistent patterns at field distances. As part of the Ultra Steel series, this BB & #2 two-shot load puts larger pellets into the mix for improved terminal performance while smaller pellets fill out the pattern, making it highly effective over decoy spreads, blind setups, or long retrieves in flooded timber and open marsh. With a muzzle velocity around 1450 fps, anglers – excuse me, hunters – get reliable trajectories for mid- to extended-range shots without sacrificing pattern density close in, which helps when birds alter their angle or speed. The load's design also mitigates pattern stringing common to steel shot, so you see more pellets in the target zone where they count. If you hunt ducks or geese in coastal, wetland, or agricultural fields where non-toxic shot is required, this Ultra Steel option gives predictable downrange performance and confidence when the volley matters most.
